The other day the SOCOM PAO ran a story about Army MSG Mike Morton, an ultramarathoner who won the Badwater Run. This guy is amazing. He is 5’4″ and weighs a buck-thirty. According to SOCOM the “Badwater Ultramarathon – a 135-mile race from Death Valley to Mt. Whitney in California. This was his first Badwater, and he completed the course in 22 hours, 52 minutes, 55 seconds, a time that was just shy of the 22:51:29 course record. The Badwater Ultramarathon starts off at 280 feet below sea level, and ends at an approximate altitude of 8,300 feet.”

I don’t want to steal their thunder, but rather alert you to this amazing story, so go read it here.
